Svensk artikel FaluKuriren: Fenomenet gympadojor: 5 maj

Med ett omslag som signalerar torr instruktionsbok à la bilhandbok, är boken om gympadojor inte en bok som stilnörden kommer att börja dregla över. Så är inte heller syftet med boken att presentera hipp design i glassigt fyrfärgstryck. Snarare att vara konsumentupplysning och kuriosalexikon i ett.

Svensk artikel Göteborgs Friidrottsförbund: Idealiteten - lever den?: 2 maj

Vi måste lära oss att presentera vår idrott som den verkligen är, att vi står och faller med de ideella krafterna. Svensken är lite "Institutionaliserad", de som ringer föreningarna förväntar sig ofta anställd personal och fasta arbetstider.

Kanske är det massmedias skildring av den extrema elitidrotten som ger allmänheten en vrångbild. Sanningen är att svensk idrott till 99% baseras på de ideella krafterna.

MSNBC: Why we are fat - An economist explains the supersize society: 2 maj

Are we fatter because we’re being fed more?

Not so fast: Bigger portions don’t necessarily translate into bigger meals. When portions were small, you could buy two orders of fries and eat them both; now that portions are enormous, you can buy one supersized order and share it with your family. How much of that goes on? We simply have no idea.

The Arnold Fan: NO GOVERNOR ARNOLD IN 2002! PART 2: 26 april

Yesterday Arnold fans around the world learned that The Oak wouldn't be joining the 2002 race to become California's new governor. Schwarzenegger, who is chairman of the Inner City Games Foundation, had even more to say about other opportunities he wants to help provide.

The Hindustan Times: Governor Terminated: 27 april

Arnold Schwarzenegger is opting out of the 2002 race to become California's governor, saying his film career and family have taken precedence over politics.

SF Gate: A Republican dream, terminated: 27 april

Gov. Gray Davis can stop worrying about competing with the glare of a Hollywood celebrity. His re-election chances have returned to a more prosaic challenge: keeping the lights on.

The Telegraph: Arnie is terminating his political plans for now: 27 april

Arnold Schwarzenegger has put his budding political career on hold, announcing that he will not be running for the Governorship of California but making another Terminator film instead.

Action hero actor Arnold Schwarzenegger has announced he won't be battling the Democratic villain, Gov. Gray Davis, in the 2002 governor race.

Despite what some may infer from his movie image, Schwarzenegger is no buffoon. He is a serious guy with the sort of moderate Republican beliefs that have appeal in California.

Malcolm Gladwell: Fast food is killing us. Can it be fixed?: 5 mars

The trouble with the French fry is the fact that it is cooked in fat, which makes it unhealthy. But the contrast that deep-frying creates between its interior and its exterior--between the golden shell and the pillowy whiteness beneath--is what makes it so irresistible.

The average American now eats a staggering thirty pounds of French fries a year, up from four pounds when Ray Kroc was first figuring out how to mass-produce a crisp fry. Meanwhile, fries themselves have become less healthful.

Commentary Magazine: Books in Review - Happy Meal?: 1 maj

Well, taken in moderation, fast food is undoubtedly harmless, and only marginally less healthful than the food served at the family-run diners of old. It can also satisfy particular cravings for fat, sugar, and salt. But as compared with what does it taste “pretty good”?

This is a question Schlosser is unequipped to answer, and perhaps even to ask, though it would lead to a much more nuanced and interesting discussion of the pros and cons of a fast-food nation. And in the meantime, in the person of the big, evil, multinational corporation, a more convenient target lies at hand.

It's through this page that I hope to bring exercise, bodybuilding, and fitness to a more personal, everyday level. I'm a beginner at this point, and have no doubt about it, at the end of my training, I will be big.

It's not going to happen overnight though, and by documenting my progress, I hope to make weightlifting more personal.
